Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) takes away excess skin and sometimes fat from the upper or lower eyelids, either because heavy upper lids block vision or for appearance.

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust says that blepharoplasty takes away excess tissue from baggy or puffy eyelids, that upper lid skin can hang down and block vision while other procedures are mostly cosmetic, and that a drooping brow can play a part.

Upper eyelid surgery is done under local anaesthetic as a day case, with stitches normally taken out about a week later.

The trust states that bruising normally settles within about two weeks and swelling within a few days, and the majority of people go back to normal work within a few days.

It reports loss of sight in about 1 in 22,000 per side, dry eye, and difficulty closing the eye if too much skin is taken out, whereas infection is rare.

Flying home: aviation guidance sets no wait for laser or surface eye treatment, so you can usually travel after the first follow-up check if the surgeon agrees.
